sorry for my ignorance, but harmonics are related to some notes. How can i do to determinate which note is an "x" harmonic?

thanks

Jazz Ad, there were some guys down in Miscellaneous looking for something like that.

I tooki the liberty of posting it in that thread as well. I hope that you don't mind!

Thanks in advance, and PM me if there is a problem.

There is NO problem at all.
Isn't it a sharing place ?

We try to make it that way.

the 7th harmonic is very out of tune...

It shouldn't be.
If it is, then your bass needs an intonation setting.

All the other harmonics are fine but the 7th is just way out.

It's quite natural that the higher partials (overtones, harmonics, whatever you choose to call them) are further out of tune. That's the way the overtone series works.
